It is important to monitor your credit card statements on a monthly basis to ensure that they are correct and that there are no fraudulent charges on your account. There are many ways to help ensure that your information is safe:

Only buy from reputable online merchants.

Never disclose your credit card number to anyone that calls and asks for it.

If your contact information changes, Contact Us as soon as possible to have it updated. This ensures that we can notify you quickly if suspicious activity is suspected on your account.

An authorization may vary from the final purchase amount in situations where there is an estimated authorization amount or a tip is involved.

Example: At a restaurant, an authorization is requested prior to a tip being added. The final purchase amount will include the tip.

Example: At the gas pump, an initial authorization is requested prior to dispensing fuel and determining the final amount of the purchase. Many pay-at-the-pump gas purchases are initially authorized for $1 no matter the final purchase amount.

Example: At a hotel, an authorization in the amount equal to the entire stay plus an estimated amount for incidentals may be made. This can also be true of cruise lines and car rental companies.
